SiteViewer vs Vercel

Vercel ships apps from a repo. SiteViewer just sends the link.

Vercel is a world-class platform for developers deploying apps straight from a Git repo. It’s overkill when all you need is to show a client one HTML file for approval. SiteViewer needs no repo, no build step, no command line: drag the file in, get a private link on your own domain, and send it. Made for designers and anyone who’d rather not touch Git.

Why designers reach for SiteViewer

From file to client link. No terminal.

01

No repo, no build, no CLI

Skip git push, framework configs and deploy commands entirely. Drag a single HTML file or a zip onto SiteViewer and it’s live on a real URL straight away.

02

Private link on your own domain

One toggle adds a password. On Pro, the preview lives at preview.yourstudio.com with a white-label gate, so the client sees your brand, not a deploy dashboard’s.

03

Revisions without a redeploy

Got an updated file? Drop it in and the link stays the same, with every version kept in history. No commits, no build logs, no waiting on a pipeline to go green.

An honest, side-by-side look

SiteViewer vs Vercel.

Vercel and SiteViewer solve different problems. Here’s the split when the task is simply getting a client to sign off on a design.

Where Vercel is the better pick

Vercel isn’t a worse product, it’s a different job. If you’re a developer shipping a real application from a Git repo, with serverless functions, preview deployments per pull request, environment variables and a CI pipeline, Vercel is superb and SiteViewer doesn’t try to replace it. SiteViewer wins when you’re a designer or non-developer who just needs a finished HTML design in front of a client, privately, on your own domain, without going anywhere near a terminal.
